Playoffs or bust in 2016 for Rex Ryan?

Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly thinks it's playoffs or bust for Rex Ryan in 2016. The all-time great Buffalo Bill joined the Jim Rome Show and told the host that he believes Ryan will be out of a job if the Bills don't make the playoffs this season. When asked what he expects would happen if the Bills did not end their playoff drought Kelly stated, “I think Rex will probably be looking for another job. I think everybody knows that including Rex.”

Kelly added that he believes this year's roster has the talent to make the postseason.

"We got a heck of a football team, but you can’t win if you’re not on the football field competing and playing,” Kelly said. “So I just hope we stay healthy, because if we do and we don’t make it, there’s no excuses whatsoever. I think we have the team to do it, I hope we do, I’m excited about this year.”

The former QB mentioned staying healthy as being the key throughout the interview.

“On paper, yeah, we look great, and we should be a very good team, but you cannot go to the playoffs, you cannot win championships when you’re spending most of your time in the training room,” Kelly said.

Ryan was handed a talented roster when he was named Bills head coach. After an 8-8 season, the pressure is on Ryan to deliver.
